Is 10 year name rule still a thing?
I recently started to network again and it has been one year since my graduation. Most of them are MD/Ds in BB. Do people still call others who are 10 years older Mr. or just first name? I sure feel strange to call someone in their 60s only first name over phone. Also, Calling them with Mr. seems has a higher ROI when you ask them to do something. What’s your take?
I agree. What about first time phone call? Begin with Mr. and wait them to instruct me to use first name?
1-9 years older: first name 10-15 years older: mr/mrs 15-20 years older: your highness 20+ years older: your excellence and/or boomer
Given your age and the age of the average MD, the fourth bucket is likely where you’ll spend most of your time.
I'd lean toward "Your Majesty" if they're a real BSD. Gotta show proper respect.
